Alberta Liberal response to Question 07

Question: What is your policy on sustainable regional planning and what is your opinion regarding the Calgary Metropolitan Plan, and the developing South Saskatchewan Regional Plan?

Answer: Regional planning is extremely important in a province as large and diverse as ours. Alberta Liberals believe very strongly in the need for and the value of meaningful regional planning, especially given that land use and conflicts around it will only get more heated and complicated as our population grows and expands. The Calgary Metropolitan Plan contains many positive elements, and is an excellent example of what can be achieved when municipalities work together to ensure their mutual sustainability.

Question: Are you inclined to legislate the CMP in its amended form?

Answer: Alberta Liberals are very encouraged by what we see in the amended Calgary Metropolitan Plan.
